Zack Sharf Tom Felton revealed in his new memoir, “Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard,” that he still feels “ashamed” for mocking co-star Emma Watson’s dance moves on the set of the “Harry Potter” movies.
Felton was 12 years old when he started filming the first movie, while Watson was only 9.

I did feel like a bit of a dick, and rightly so.” Felton said he apologized to Watson and she “accepted my apology,” describing the mocking as “a stupid, teenage act of thoughtlessness, the sort of thing that happens every day.” But Felton can’t help but ask himself: “So why does that moment stick in my memory?
